Berry Sweet Pancakes
Sweet and fruity pancakes infused with vanilla and strawberry jam, perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch that appeals to all ages and tastes.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Jiffy mix, milk, and brown sugar together.
- Add vanilla extract and strawberry jam to the mixture.
- Pour the batter onto a heated griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter batter, consider substituting half of the Jiffy mix with whole wheat flour. You can also use mixed berry jam instead of strawberry for a different flavor profile. Make sure the griddle is properly heated to achieve a golden-brown color on the pancakes. If the batter seems too thick, add a bit more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these berry sweet pancakes with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries for an extra special touch. They pair beautifully with a side of crispy bacon or sausage links for a hearty breakfast. For a delightful brunch, consider serving them alongside a fresh fruit salad or yogurt, enhancing the sweetness of the dish.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat, flipping occasionally until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze individual pancakes between parchment paper, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of Jiffy mix?
Yes, you can substitute Jiffy mix with all-purpose flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Just be sure to add the necessary leavening agents, such as baking powder and salt, to achieve a fluffy texture.
What can I use instead of brown sugar?
If you don't have brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar combined with a bit of molasses or honey to mimic the rich flavor. Alternatively, coconut sugar or maple syrup are great substitutes for a unique twist.
How can I make these pancakes dairy-free?
To make dairy-free pancakes, substitute the milk with almond milk, oat milk, or any other non-dairy milk of your choice. Ensure that your strawberry jam is also dairy-free, and you can enjoy this recipe without any dairy ingredients.
